Ariel appears as a memory of Sora, on Atlantica's floor in [[Castle Oblivion]]. She is first seen swimming towards Sora, Donald, and Goofy. She quickly informs them not to tell anyone that they saw her and swims off. Afterwards, Sora and company find out she was running away because she stole her father's Trident to save Flounder from Ursula's clutches. Sora and his friends help Ariel confront Ursula and save Flounder. After Ursula's defeat, Sebastian arrives and Ariel decides to face the consequences for taking the Trident. | Princess Ariel appears as a memory of Sora, on Atlantica's floor in [[Castle Oblivion]].

A year later, Ariel saves [[Prince Eric]] from drowning and takes him to shore.

Ariel's fascination with the surface world has grown, and according to her father, Ariel's curiosity in the outside world drew her to her grotto, the place of Atlantica's Keyhole, where she stored her collection of items from the surface world. Unable to forget about the prince, she falls into deep depression, and so Sora and the others decide to help her. When her father finds out that she has fallen in love with a human, he tries to make her forget about him by destroying the statue of him that Flounder gave to her as a gift to cheer her up. However, Ursula reappears and makes a deal with her: to make her human for three days in exchange for her voice. In addition, she must make the prince kiss her willingly before sunset on the third day, otherwise she will become hers forever. Despite the hardship, she signs the contract and finally gets to meet Eric in person, although he does not recognize her at first. | Princess Ariel's fascination with the surface world has grown, and according to her father, Ariel's curiosity in the outside world drew her to her grotto, the place of Atlantica's Keyhole, where she stored her collection of items from the surface world.

On the third day, Ariel gets her voice back with Sora's help, and they all battle the sea witch again. Once Ursula is defeated, Ariel reveals to Eric that she is a mermaid and says goodbye to him, but he does not change his feelings about her. Seeing how much they are in love, King Triton's view of humans changes and he lets his daughter be with a human prince. Later, Ariel is disappointed to learn that Sora, Donald, and Goofy are leaving, but they refuse to say goodbye and assure her in song that they will meet again, to which she happily agrees. | On the third day, Ariel gets her voice back with Sora's help, and they all battle the sea witch again.

Ariel is a mermaid who thinks and acts for herself and doesn't do what others tell her to do, such as her father and Sebastian. She can act rebellious at times and act rashly to get what she wants, which lands her in trouble. She hates being patronized by her father and although they love each other, they have a strained relationship in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Ariel doesn't wait for things to happen to her and is strong-willed and proactive about her future. | Princess Ariel is a mermaid who thinks and acts for herself and doesn't do what others tell her to do, such as her father and Sebastian.

She is also compassionate and is also protective of her friends, doing anything for their safety, as seen when she stole the Trident in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' to help Flounder. She is one of the rather few main female Disney leads in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series who help out in combat, adding to her brave and proactive nature. | She is also compassionate and is also protective of her friends, doing anything for their safety, as seen when she stole the Trident in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' to help Flounder.

Like Sora and Riku, she has a big sense of adventure, always wanting to find something new even if it is dangerous. She also has feelings of disenchantment and longing when she longs for a new world, be it either the human world above or a new one altogether. This has led her to collect trinkets and objects from the human world in her grotto, as well as making her infatuated with Eric. Her longing is so intense that she is willing to become mute and lose her voice, and if she fails to make Eric love her, "belong" to Ursula. | Like Sora and Riku, she has a big sense of adventure, always wanting to find something new even if it is dangerous.

Ariel can be interpreted as somewhat gullible and naive, twice falling for Ursula's manipulative skills, even in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', which occurs after Ariel finds out of Ursula's deceptive and antagonistic nature. However, one could also interpret this as part of Ariel's compassionate personality, being able to give someone who wronged her another chance. | Princess Ariel can be interpreted as somewhat gullible and naive, twice falling for Ursula's manipulative skills, even in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', which occurs after Ariel finds out of Ursula's deceptive and antagonistic nature.

Ariel only makes an appearance as a party member in ''Kingdom Hearts''. Ariel [[No Weapon|cannot equip a weapon]] and instead attacks using her tail. Thus, she has very low attack power, implementing magic as her primary form of offense. Therefore, her abilities are geared towards increasing her magical abilities, and she has high [[MP]]. Ariel has three equipment slots and five item slots. | Princess Ariel only makes an appearance as a party member in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

Her combat abilities are equally divided between special attacks and defensive skills. The former group includes [[Spiral Wave]], a physical attack, and [[Thunder Potion]], which has the same effect as the [[Thunder]] spell. The latter category contains the [[Cure Potion]] and [[Aero Potion]] skills, which act as the equivalent of [[Cure]] and [[Aero]]. Ariel also has access to a variety of support abilities, such as [[MP Haste]], [[MP Rage]], [[Lucky Strike]], [[Second Wind]], and [[Treasure Magnet]]. | Her combat abilities are equally divided between special attacks and defensive skills.

Ariel is a [[friend card]] that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. When used, Ariel is called into the battle and swims around in circles, striking enemies caught in her way. Stocking two or three Ariel cards will create [[Spiral Wave Lv2]] or [[Spiral Wave Lv3]], which causes Ariel to rush into an enemy repeatedly before finishing off with a tail fin kick. | Princess Ariel is a [[friend card]] that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''.
